Most people agree that honesty is a good thing．But does Mother Nature agree？Animals can't talk，but can they lie in other ways？Can they lie with their bodies and behavior？Animal experts may not call it lying，but they do agree that many animals，from birds to chimpanzees，behave dishonestly to fool other animals．Why？Dishonesty often helps them survive．
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals．For example，a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young．When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest，the plover leads the predator away from the nest．How？It pretends to have a broken wing．The predator follows the"hurt"adult，leaving the baby birds safe in the nest．
Another kind of bird，the scrub jay，buries its food so it always has something to eat．Scrub jays are also thieves．They watch where others bury their food and steal it．But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them．So they go back later，unbury the food，and bury it again somewhere else．
Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work．How？They don't make nests．Instead，they get into other birds'nests secretly．Then they lay their eggs and fly away．When the baby birds come out，their adoptive parents feed them．
Chimpanzees，or chimps，can also be sneaky．After a fight，the losing chimp will give its hand to the other．When the winning chimp puts out its hand，too，the chimps are friendly again．But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again．
Chimps are sneaky in other ways，too．When chimps find food that they love，such as bananas，it is natural for them to cry out．Then other chimps come running．But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food．That way，other chimps don't hear them，and they don't need to share their food．
As children，many of us learn the saying"You can't fool Mother Nature．"But maybe you can't trust her，either．

66．A plover protects its young from a predator byD．
A．getting closer to its young             B．driving away the adult predator
C．leaving its young in another nest       D．pretending to be injured
67．By"Chimpanzees，or chimps，can also be sneaky"（paragraph 5），the author meansB．
A．chimps are ready to attack others       B．chimps are sometimes dishonest
C．chimps are jealous of the winners       D．chimps can be selfish too
68．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A．
A．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others．
B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand．
C．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests．
D．Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back．
69．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？A．
A．Do animals lie？B．Does Mother Nature fool animals？
C．How do animals learn to lie？D．How does honesty help animals survive？

1．I carry a Rubik's Cube （魔方） in my backpack．Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter．I usually ask people to try it first．They just turn the cube over in their hands，not even knowing where to begin．That's exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read．Letters and words were out of order．Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic．
The Rubik's Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward．This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade．It's embarrassing to admit，but I still couldn't always spell my full name correctly．As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in what's called"language-processing disorder"，I had to start over．I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my district's high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence．
Now，I can easily solve the 5×5×5．I discover that just before it is solved，a problem can look like a mess，and then suddenly you can find the solution．Early in my Rubik's career，I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it．I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places．The Rubik's cube taught me that to accomplish something big，it helps to break it down into small pieces．I learned that it's important to spend a lot of time thinking，to try to find connections and patterns．I believe that there are surprises around the corner．
Like life itself，the Rubik's cube can be frustrating puzzle．So everyday I carry a Rubik's cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals，no matter what obstacles I face．

48．Why did the author leave the public school？A

B．He was so crazy about the Rubik's Cube that he wanted to solve it first．
C．His interest shifted to learning how to communicate with other people．
D．He was afraid to go to the public school because he could not spell his name．
49．The author carries a Rubik's Cube in his backpack toD．

On this fine winter day，when much of the country is freezing，I know I shouldn't complain．I live in the Mojave Desert on a hill overlooking Las Vegas，so I can sit outside，feel the sun on my face and not feel cold．But I'm just going to say it：I am tired of winter．Around this time of year，I always look forward to spring．
I blame my grandmother．Growing up，I spent most spring breaks with her on her farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains．Once，when I was 8or so，I said："Why do they call it spring break？It still feels like winter．"
She studied me for a minute，and then said："Spring is where you find it．Let's go take a look．"Then we each took a walking stick and with that we were off．
You could not outwalk my grandmother．The woman was never tired．We followed a dusty trail，zigzagging （曲折前进） up the mountain from the farm to the top of a hill．Finally，she stopped．"There，"she said．"There's your spring．"She pointed to a tree covered in pink blooms that looked like little puffs （蓬松的一团） of cotton candy on sticks．
I wish you could've seen it．
"It's a dogwood （山茱萸），"she said．"It blooms every year whether we're around to see it or not．It's a promise．You can count on it．"
That tree became a ritual （例行习惯），a promise I counted on．Every spring we went looking for it and every time we found it in all its glory．When I grew up and moved away，I carried the memory of that tree and its promise with me from the mountains of North Carolina，to the coast of California，to a hill overlooking Las Vegas．
My grandmother has been gone for years．Her farm was sold and the hill above it became a subdivision （供出卖的小块土地）．I don't know if the dogwood survived．But it still blooms，without fail，in my memory．
Sometimes，in the dead of winter，it helps to remember the promise I learned as a child．
Life persists in spite of us．The Earth is reborn every spring，every day，and every moment．When we least expect it，trees bloom on mountains in our memories．It's a promise．

56．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article？D
A．The author's grandmother got tired quickly．
B．The author's grandmother and the dogwood both died years ago．
C．The place the author lives in is colder than other places in the country．
D．The dogwood is a sign of spring and it lived on in the author's memory for years．
57．When the author complained that it was still too cold during spring break，her grandmotherC．
A．suggested that she enjoy the beauty of winter
B．took her to climb the hill to get warmer
C．showed her that spring actually had come already
D．convinced her that spring would come soon
58．The main purpose of the article is toD．
A．show the importance of promises
B．explain why dogwoods have a special meaning for the author
C．share the author's memories of her happy childhood with her grandmother
D．argue that life keeps on going，and thus we should be patient when things seem dark or sad．

18．Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and，having gained it，to learn how to use it properly．Recently 1walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round．It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes．But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them．These same men can be found there day after day．and，strangely enough，each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community．If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness，then each one should have been happy．Yet，it seemed to me，something very important was missing，else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda．They knew，each one of them，that their productivity had ceased（停止）．When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit，it is dying．And it is even so with man．
What 1s the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours？I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible．The words were few，but they became memorably impressed on my mind："In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread．"
To me，that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections （memories）．In fact，the battle of life，of existence，is a challenge to everyone．The immortal words of St．Paul，too，have been and always will be a great inspiration to me．At the end of the road 1want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight，I have finished the course，I have kept the faith．

41．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph？C
A．Wealth results from honest effort．
B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life．
C．For some people，no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda．

A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B．No pains，no gains
C．Failure is the mother of success
D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face

3．Father's Garden
My father was always a good（酷爱的） gardener．One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled（翻耕的） soil，my hands blackened from digging in the ground．
As a child，I loved following Dad around in the garden．I remember Dad pushing the tiller（耕作机） ahead in perfectly straight lines．Dad loved growing all sorts of things：yellow and green onions，watermelons almost as big as me，rows of yellow corn，and our favorite---red tomatoes．
As I grew into a teenager，I didn't get so excited about gardening with Dad．Instead of magical land of possibility，it had turned into some kind of prison．As Dad grew older，his love for gardening never disappeared．After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own，Dad turned to gardening like never before．Even when he was diagnosed with cancer，he still took care of his garden．
But then，the cancer，bit by bit，invaded his body．I had to do the things he used to do．What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year．The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone．Too tired to weed them，he simply let them be．He only planted tomatoes．
For the first few years after he died，I couldn't even bear to look at anyone's garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket．Three years ago，I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes．That morning，after breaking up a fair amount of soil，something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile．It was my eight-year-old son Nathan，happily playing in the freshly tilled soil．
